"Using an active voice means cutting out the words that tend to slow down what you have to say and make your writing more passive. Active voice is like going from point A to point B, rather than going from point A to point B to point C."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy
and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
